Mathew, what kernel have you used to boot 2005.0 install cd?

Default one is 2.6 serie kernel, have you tried 2.4 kernel?

To do this, is as easy as change in the handbook instructions the 
command to launch kernel load:

"boot dqb0 -flags 1"

"-flags 1" instead of "-flags 0" will use 2.4 serie kernel.
